CNESST prevention program for your plant or warehouse: what the RMPPE requires of you

Have 1 to 19 workers? The action plan applies instead — the diagnostic places you too.

—

Full RMPPE compliance is required by October 1, 2026.

The typical risks of your sector

Forklifts and pedestrians — constant cohabitation in the same aisles
Machine guards and lockout — moving parts and live maintenance interventions
Noise — continuous exposure that wears hearing down without warning
Racking and falling loads — tonnes stored overhead above picking zones
Repetitive handling — same motions, same loads, entire shifts

Fine exposure

Not having a prevention program is an offence under s. 236 of the LSST — from $2,115 to $4,226 per statement of offence for a legal person (first offence, 2026). If the absence of measures contributes to compromising a worker's health or safety, s. 237 applies: from $21,127 to $84,519, and up to more than $400,000 for repeat offences.
